Thought they weren't allowed to hide speed cameras?
 

Or am I wrong? Brand new Gatso's gone up on the M4 between J17 & J18. The one eastbound is right by the junction by the first bridge you come to & is directly behind a massive sign. Thought they had to make these visible.
It's not active yet btw, still got it's hood on lol.

They must be visible by law from 100yds, and painted yellow, or another high vis volour.

take piccys and post to the Sun

Good job I flew past there tonight! Reminds me to update the Snooper.

It's not a law, it's a guideline. In fact IIRC authorities only had to make them visible if they wanted to keep any of the revenue - if they didn't then they were free to hide them. I seem to remember that the government announced late last year that authorities would no longer keep any of the money, so there's no longer any incentive to mark them clearly.

From what angle though? ;)

I seen the two cameras last sunday. Isnt one under the bridge of jun 18. Im sure you cant see it till your on top of it. :wonder:

I'm sure a few old tyres hooked round it and set alight would make it comply with their guideline of making it a "visible deterrent" ;):D

Abso-fukcin-lutely, and a few more to boot!

The ever-popular GATSO necklace? I drove to Lichfield a few months ago and every fixed camera in Staffordshire with the exception of one, had fire damage....!
